Friday's recap: White Sox 7, Yankees 1

White Sox left-hander Chris Sale allowed one earned run and six Yankees baserunners Friday night in a 7-1 complete-game victory at Yankee Stadium.

With his second complete game this season, Sale improved to 8-0 by allowing six hits and walking none. He retired 15 Yankees in a row from the fourth to the eighth innings before Starlin Castro’s single to start the ninth.

The Sox tagged Yankees right-hander Luis Severino with seven earned runs over 2 2/3 innings before Severino left the game with soreness on the back of his right elbow. He will undergo an MRI.

At the plate

Adam Eaton hit a two-run double in the third inning and Jimmy Rollins added his second homer of the year, a two-run shot to right field, to drive Severino from the game.

In the second inning, Alex Avila recorded his first RBI with a double to left-center field and Jose Abreu added a two-out, two-run single.

On the mound

Sale gave up a solo homer in the bottom of the second to Chase Headley, who entered the game 4-for-9 with a double and a homer off Sale.

He’s back

Third baseman Todd Frazier returned to the lineup after leaving Wednesday's game early with a cut on his lower lip from diving into the stands.

Roster moves

Before the game, the Sox purchased the contract of left-hander Matt Purke from Triple-A Charlotte. Purke takes the roster spot of right-hander Scott Carroll, who was designated for assignment Thursday. The Sox also officially requested waivers to release John Danks, a formality after the club designated him for assignment last week.

Purke, who joined the Sox on a minor-league contract in the offseason, has a 2.30 ERA with eight walks and 14 strikeouts over 15 2/3 innings in 10 appearances. He has no major-league experience.

The quote

“He’s a more effective pitcher than he’s been in the past. He doesn’t just rely on rearing back and blowing it by people.” – Sox manager Robin Ventura on Sale
